"I booked 2 lessons with Hassan, one for me and my daughter, and I cant recommend him highly enough. My daughter is new to the game, but Hassans patience and thorough explanations seemed to really help her follow along and get a hang of it. I also received a lesson as I have been struggling with a hook, and I genuinely saw improvements during that same range session. We’ve been going back weekly since!

"James's lesson was quite good. He’s very friendly and takes his time talking and teaching my son, which I appreciated. Though, I’d like to see continued focus on making his swing more natural because that’s still a work in progress. Still, I feel hopeful that with more practice, the swing will become smoother. If you’re after a calm, supportive environment, I’d suggest giving James a try, you might find his way of teaching quite helpful.
